We are very much a company that gives thanks every day for the opportunity for men to look and feel their best every single day.&nbsp; But we also love to eat!&nbsp; Which is why we\u2019ve given ideas in the past for favorite foods (rounds <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.thegentsplace.com\/thanksgiving-dishes-worth-trying-year\/\">one<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.thegentsplace.com\/more-thanksgiving-treats\/\">two<\/a>).&nbsp; This year we want to complement those dishes with some drinks to wash them down with.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with Thanksgiving meals and the turkey-coma days that follow, you are free to drink these in any order you wish: we\u2019re just pairing them with courses to make it easy for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can prepare for your meal with:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Whistlepig The Boss Hog V: The Spirit of Mauve<\/strong>  Don\u2019t be scared off by the name of Vermont-based Whistlepig\u2019s fifth in their Boss Hog series.&nbsp; Mauve was a beloved pig and this 13-year-aged straight rye whiskey is finished in calvados casks.<\/li><li><strong>Martell Blue Swift <\/strong>&nbsp;For those who love bourbon and are looking to try cognac, this might be perfect for you.&nbsp; Blue Swift is made by taking Martell VSOP cognac and finishing it in Kentucky bourbon casks.&nbsp; Once you\u2019ve aged cognac in something that held a non-wine spirit, it cannot be called cognac so this is known as an \u201ceau de vie.\u201d<\/li><li><strong>Paul Cherrier Sancerre 2019<\/strong>  If either of the first two choices are two strong for you at the start of a meal, then a light, crisp, and fragrant wine from a family vineyard in the Loire Valley in France might be right for you.&nbsp; <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re working through your proteins of choice and potatoes and green bean casserole.&nbsp; Wash them down with:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Victory Golden Monkey<\/strong>&nbsp; This Belgian-style golden strong ale is fruity and light (think orange, banana, and clove) but finishes with a hint of hops and spices.<\/li><li><strong>Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale<\/strong>  If you want more than a hint of hops, this will be a good choice for you.&nbsp; A brown ale has the color of an American Brown, the caramel of a Scotch Ale, and the hops of an IPA.&nbsp; It\u2019s brewed with barley and organic brown sugar. <\/li><li><strong>Domaine Cornu-Camus Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits 2019<\/strong>&nbsp; Hey, you don\u2019t need to pronounce it.&nbsp; Just show the name at your wine shop and they\u2019ll take care of you.&nbsp; \u201cBourgogne\u201d is what the French call the Burgundy region, and it\u2019s home to some of the best wines in the world.&nbsp; This happens to be a great bottle at a good price.<\/li><li><strong>Southold Farm and Cellar Texas High Plains \u201cDon\u2019t Forget to Soar\u201d White Wine Blend 2020<\/strong>&nbsp; The proprietors started their winemaking life on Long Island and are now in Texas Hill Country.&nbsp; This is a blend of roussanne and gruner veltliner and is very much a taste of the Texas plains: earthy herbal and citrus flavors.&nbsp; Can you get more Texas for Thanksgiving than an in-state wine?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Desserts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got room for dessert, you\u2019ve got room to wash it down with something.&nbsp; You could do worse than:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Beurer Wurttemberg Riesling Trocken 2020<\/strong>&nbsp; This might be just as difficult to pronounce as the French wine from the main course section, but it\u2019s just as worth looking for.&nbsp; It\u2019s not an overly sweet riesling, but one that\u2019s a bit more dry and savory even.&nbsp; A great finish to your meal.<\/li><li><strong>North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial<\/strong>&nbsp; This is going to have a roasted flavor with bitter chocolate and anise.&nbsp; Perfect with chocolate ice cream, biscotti, or pumpkin pie.<\/li><li><strong>Laird\u2019s Straight Applejack 86 <\/strong>&nbsp;This first hit the scene in 2017 and is 100% apple brandy.&nbsp; Seventeen pounds of apples are needed to produce each bottle.&nbsp; If you don\u2019t want to take it straight you can always use it to make your hot toddies.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Are there any beer, spirits, or wine you\u2019d add to the list?&nbsp;
